Smartdust

Smartdust refers to tiny, wireless microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) that can be used to monitor and collect data about their environment. These miniature devices typically include sensors, computational abilities, and communication capabilities, allowing them to interact with each other and share information. The concept encompasses a network of small sensors that can be dispersed over a wide area to collect data on various phenomena, such as temperature, humidity, light, or motion.
